Hunter Original Short Wellington Boots are versatile for a range of outdoor activities where dry, comfortable feet are paramount:
Puddle Jumping & Rainy Days: Excellent for keeping feet dry during heavy rain, walking through puddles, or navigating wet urban environments.

Festivals & Outdoor Events: Ideal for navigating muddy fields and wet grounds often encountered at music festivals, outdoor markets, or sporting events.

Light Countryside Walks: Suitable for casual strolls on muddy trails or through damp grass, offering reliable protection and grip.
Simply pull the boots on. Adjust the side strap as needed to achieve a snug yet comfortable fit around your calf. Ensure your socks are comfortable and not bunched up inside the boot.
Sizing: These boots are UK Size 8 for adults. Hunter Original boots are generally considered true to size, built on an original last for an exceptional fit. Consider your usual shoe size, and if you plan to wear thick socks, you might opt for your larger size if you are between sizes.
Footwear: Pair with appropriate socks for your activity and the weather. Thicker, thermal socks are recommended for warmth in colder conditions, while moisture-wicking socks can enhance comfort during extended wear.
Cleaning: After each use, wipe down your boots with a damp cloth to remove mud, dirt, and any external residues. For more stubborn stains, a mild soap solution and a soft brush can be used.
Drying: Always allow your boots to air dry naturally. Keep them away from direct heat sources such as radiators, fireplaces, or direct sunlight, as excessive heat can cause the material to dry out or crack.
Storage: Store your boots upright in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Avoid folding or creasing the boots to help them maintain their shape and prevent damage.
Conditioning: To maintain the appearance and flexibility of your boots, regularly wipe them clean. For optimal care, consider using a specialized boot buffer or silicone spray designed for waterproof footwear. This helps restore shine and keeps the material supple, preventing dulling or blooming.
